What's In My Bag?

What's in my bag videos and posts and some of my favourite to read/watch; I'm a really nosey person and i love being able to have a good nosey into other peoples bags and see what they carry around with them. Last time i did this post, it didn't go too well - it was way too photo heavy and it was just a general disaster which has now been deleted because of that I've put off doing this post for the longest time.

The handbag I'm currently using is from H&M (£29.99) - i normally have a large bag but as I've been going out a lot lately I'm constantly switching my bag over to a smaller one and it was starting to really get on my nerves so i decided to pick up a bag that was smaller but that would still fit a lot in so i could just take this one out with me and this bag is the perfect size - i do wish the strap was a little longer but other than that i really like this bag! I'm one of those people who likes to prepare for everything so now that I've downsized my bag I'm trying really hard to only carry essential items.

My purse is something that i could never leave the house without as it houses my money, bank cards, ID etc... i also have a few points/loyalty cards in there too, unfortunately I'm a bit of a receipt hoarder so i have a section in my purse that is just filled with them. I also keep a small diary that i use this to keep track of my shifts in work or any appointments that i have and i normally keep a pen in my bag too but I've not featured that in the photo.

I have a couple of typical items; like chewing gum, my house keys and a compact mirror - I've had this mirror for the longest time, a really good friend of mine gave it to me as she knew how much i love Audrey Hepburn and i still love it to this day! I also carry the emergency stylfile with me, these have changed the way i take care of my nails so i love have this little handy sized one to keep in my bag!

The rest of the items are pretty much beauty products; I have my Maybelline Superstay Betterskin concealer and Benefit Get Even Powder - i always take my concealer and face powder with me so that i can top up throughout the day if needed and I like to carry the Monu Brightening Boost* around so that whenever my skin needs a little pick me up i can apply this and it instantly makes my skin look healthy and glowy. I have a little Osis+ Hairspray* in the little black sequinned pouch which i just think is really cute and girly and the hairspray itself is a fantastic product it holds my hair in place really well so i love that its handbag sized! I then have a Fearne Cotton Hand Cream that i always carry around with me but i always forget to use so I've had it for quite a while now. I always carry a lip balm with me; the one that is currently in my bag is the Burts Bees Lip Balm, which i really like i find it really moisturising on my lips, id normally also carry the lip product that I'm wearing that day around with me so that i can top it up as needed but i didn't include any in the photo as the lip product changes quite regularly.

There are a couple of other items i like to keep in my bag too but some i just didn't think were essential to show for this post and i wanted to avoid it becoming really long and photo heavy like it did last time. The items shown are the things that i always have on me!
